Five questions: Professor Kris Gledhill

Watching Margaret Lockwood star on the television show Justice at the age of 7 first sparked Professor Kris Gledhill’s interest in law.

We asked Kris five questions ahead of his Inaugural Professorial Address - he discussed his human rights research, the advice he would offer to new or aspiring researchers and his hope for law in New Zealand.

“My hope for how law will develop, is that New Zealand will once find itself on the cutting edge of new developments in matters of human rights and expanding social justice. We’ve got a long history in being the first in doing various good things, and it’s time we rediscovered that ability,” he said.
